Sorry guys I give up on this one. It's not coming even with wd-40. i don't know what else to do, i even strap clamped it. i'm out of ideas I did just screw the bottom asa into the ex.chamber and that was fine except for a huge leak. Then i when i went to unscrew the tank the asa unscrew instead the tank...resulting in extreme loss of co2, a freezing asa and a blown up ex.chamber So i think im just gonna get a va from a compact or something and one where i can still keep my volumizer.
